The Control Room Awards
At British APCO we are passionate about working to improve emergency services and public safety communications and information technology for everybody’s benefit - and we are delighted to be one of the supporters of the annual Control Room Awards.
These Awards are so important in recognising the people who work in our critical control rooms using tech day in, day out to do their fantastic work as best they can. It’s why we sponsor The British APCO Control Room Innovation Award that recognises an individual – or a team - who has made a tangible difference through taking a unique and/or innovative approach with the tech that is being used in the control room.
If you want to find out more about The Control Room Awards then please do visit their website.
